it ia only 6,830 feet O110 reason for
this doubtless is that people desirous of
going up mountains, a rather rare form
of human being iu fever stricken, over
worked west Africa, naturally try for
the big peak; also the little peak is
mostly smt-r cliff, and covered with nl
most impenetrable bush. Behind tho
Kamerou mountain, inland, there are
two chains of mountains, or one chain
deflected, bearing the names of tho
Ruiubi and Onion mountains.
Those aro little known at present, and
are clearly no relation of Mungo s.
They are almost at right angles to it,
and are, I believe, infinitely older iit

named range wo know iu Kongo Fran

THE FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.
How a Minister Cam to Buy It nnd Why
He Mold It.
The' Rev. Franois Winter was a na
tive of Boston and a grudunto of IIiu
vord col lego. Ho went to Bath early in
1707, and after preaching on probation
for tho Orthodox church was invited .to
settle, which invitation he accepted. Re
was ordained in tiie autumn of tho same
year. He went to Bath on horseback iu
company with Lemuel Btandish. Air.
Winter came from Boston, where ho
hod associated with such eminent men
as Adams, Otis and Warren, himself
becoming an ardent patriot, tuking the
lend in tho Revolutionary measures
adopted in Buth. during that memorable
period.
Mr. Winter married Miss Abigail Al
don in 1708, and it is ithrough her that
tho inters of today trace their auocstry
look to tho "Puritnu JUuideu of PJym
outh."
Thrco yoara nfter tha murriago of 'tho
Rev. Francis Winter nud Abigail Aldcn
they Btortcd to visit a sister of Mrs.
Winter, living in Connecticut, and iu
tended to rido all the-iway on horseback,
but Mrs. Winter became so fatigued that
Mr. Winter sold one of the horses for a
carriage and harness. It was the first
carriage that ever oanie into Muiue.and
was culled a cliaiso. Traveling was so
dlmcult that two negroes wero employed
to accompany them .with shovels nd
axes to clear the road. .Several times tho
chaise had to be taken apart and lifted
over fallen treoa. The minister's parish
ionors thought that it was putting ou
too jnuch stylo for their pastor to ride
in a carriage, and in .oonaequeuoe Mr.
Winter sold it This was In 1771. It
was a two whoeled chaise, the body
resting on. leather braces, which were
attached to wooden springs. Lewiatun

They tell a story of a young woman
one of many who, being afilioted
with a sudden and mod stosire to be
come an actress, called on .the late Les
ter Walluck and requested his assistance
In getting on the stage. The most deb
onair of actor managers looked at her
in his own lightooitetly way and asked:
"Are you marries?"
"No," replied the aspirant
" My dear young lady, ' ' said Mr. Wal
lack, "go and get married, have two or
three children, lose them, be beaten by
your husband, get a divorce and then

An Important Question.
If your friends or neighbors are suffer
ing from coughs, colds, sore throat, or
any throat or lung disease (lnoludlng
consumption), ask them if they have
ever used Otto's Cure. This famous
German remedy Is having a large sale
here and Is performing some wonderful
cures of throat and lung diseases.
Reynolds Drug Store will give you a
sample bottle free. No matter what
other medlolnea have failed to do, try
Otto's Cure. Large Sizes 38c and 60o.
TUB Bonth African Labor Market,
I believe, as with fighting peoples of I
India, so witn tne zuia ana me mata-
belo, military service will eventually
prove an excellent means of eliciting
the loyalty and utilizing the pugnacity
of tho nation. All over South Africa the
great social and economical difficulty of
the nay is the state of the labor market.
Inefficient, according to our standard,
though Kaffir labor may bo for the pur
poses of mining as well as farming, it
is absolutely Indispensable. W lilte men
may be overseers and managers, but the
pick and shovel work is, and mnst be
for some time, in the hands of natives.
Whatever may be the case in America,
it is certain that in Bonth Africa black'
and whito would not come together in
a single shift or a single gang on the
same level. Whether in the future em
ployers will not be forced to import
hands, not exactly of the class called
"mean white," but from the same coun
tries as now supply the American mines
with labor, remains to be seen.
The scarcity of Kaffirs is a serious fact
in tho Industrial world of Afrikander
dom. It does not spring, as I havo stated,
from any shrinkage of population, for,
on tho contrary, there is an increase,
but it is to be accnuntcd for by the in
grained distaste for manual exertion
which makes the inalo Kaffir in his own
kraal send his womeu to work in the
flelds while he sits in his glory at his
hut's door. Everywhere they havo made
money and bought cattle, nnd, accord
ing to Kaffir custom, each son of the
house has the right to pnt his spoon into
the common bowl and the commou stew,
so that the young"bucks" are not forced
to work from any fear of starving.
Fortnightly Review.
Paul Potter.
These boys who draw on slates and
whoso timo and thoughts ore constantly
running to pictures sometimes turn out
to be great artists and leave splendid
names behind them. In the great picture
gallery at The Hague, which is at once
tire pride and joy of all truo Dutchmen,
hangs, among other masterpieces, tho
most famous animal picture in all the
world. It is called "The Bull. " It was
painted by a very young man, whose
name was Paul Potter, and who was
only 23 when ho signed this canvas.
There aro few paintings better known,
and it is acknowledged by art critics to
be tho most coinplcto work that any cat
tie painter has ever done.
Though this Dutchman died at the
ago of 29, he left behind him 140 pio
turps that were all out of tho ordinary,
While some of them were painted before
he was 16. Ue mado, when ho was 18,
a wonderful etching that attracted ut
teution in tho old town of Delft, and an
artist in thoso duys had to do excellent
work to flecuvo notioo at all. Potter a
works aro greatly prized jand aro found
in tho principal galleries Til the world
You may see them iu tho National gal
lory in London ; tho Berlin, Dresden and
Vienna museums ; the Hermitage iu St.
Petersburg, tho Louvre in Paris, and all
the art institutions of tho artist's native
land. Arthur Hoeber in St. NiohoJas.
Wkm tha Beaver Dived.
Forest and Stream prints from a pho
tograph a wood socue that should liring
a faraway look into tho beaver trapper's
eyes tho moment he sees it. Thero aro
fallen logs, iu a tiuiglo of brush trees
denuded of leuves mostly, and down a
slight incline, surrounded by tho brush,
is a pool. Ripples of water aro waggling
the shadows of tho trees, which wero
caused by a beaver that hud just dived,
alarmed by the approach of E. Hofer,
who took tho photograph.
No picture is so suggestive to a sports
man as one which shows whore game
has boon. Sportsmen's papers print pho'
tographs of the tracks of doors, bears
and other game, and these are more sug
gestive than a viow of the game itsolf.
A fox's .track, leadiug away acnoss the
snow covered fields, or the ripple where
a fish has slapped tho water's surface
are full of life to a sportsman. There is
a chance with suoh evidence before him
of exorcising his oraft and skilL
It ia roluted of an amateur photog
rapher of field scenes that one slay he
tried to catch a running gray squirrel
with his little camera. When the nega
tive was developed, he found that he had
a picture f the animal's tail alone, but
because of the very lnooinpletenesa of
the scene he values that picture Above
any six in tin collection.

are lading Horn exhaustion may be re
stored to freshness if the stalk are
plunged about an Inch deep into scald'
ing water. By the time the water be
comes cold the flowers will have reviv
ed. Cut off the ends of the stalks which
have been softened by the hot water and
put the flower In vases with plenty of
cold water. Cut flowers are likely to
keep longer if you out off with a sharp
penknife a little piece of stalk every
day. Out in a aluuting direction. The
strong odor of the water in which wall
flowers have remained may be remedied
by adding a little charcoal or disinfect
ing fluid. Philadelphia Telegraph..

A Famous Book Is "Osilan."
In his book on "The Study of Oeltlo
Literature," Arnold showed that one of
the qualities which the English people
admire most in somo of their great poets
is the very quality which above nil oth
ers is the distinguishing characteristio
of the Celtic bards, and that Ossion in
particular is saturated and pervaded
with the quintessence of this trait To
denote the characteristic trait of Celtio
poetry Arnold nsed the word Titanism.
No one has defined Titanism, hut it has
been caricatured in the saying, "The
Celtio mind seems always sailing no
where under full sail."
Those who wished to know the full
meaning of tho word were recommended
to discover it by devout study of Byron
and Keats. "And where lid they get
it?" asks Arnold. "Tho Celts," he an
swers, "are tho prime authors of this
vein of piercing regret and pattsioq, of
this Titanism in poetry. A famous book,
Marpherson's 'Osslan,' carried in the
last century this vein like a flood of lava
through Europe. Mako the part of
what is forged, modorn, tawdry, spuri
ous, in the book as largo as you liko,
there will still be left a residue of the
very soul of tho Oeltlo genius iu it, and
which has the proud distinction of hav
ing brought this soul of tho Celtio gen
ius into contact with tho genius of tho
nations of modern Europe and enriched
all our poetry by it Woody Morven and

tude, and when we are unjust enough
to forget it, may tho muse forget us. "

Kant's Windlasses.
Kant, the German metaphysician,
was a singular being. The English
writer Thomas De Qulnoey made close
observation of Kant s personal peculiar'
ities, and frequently dwelt upon one of
them with intense amusement
Kant, among other studies in the art
of taking care of himself, avoided ordi
nary garters. He permitted no ligature
to be placed on any part of his body,
fearing to hinder in the slightest degree
the circulation of the blood.
Ho found it necessary at the same
time to keep up his stockings. Accord
ingly ho had loops attached to them,
and outside each hip he wore a contriv
ance which may bo culled a box wind
lass. These affairs somewhat resembled
an angler's reel, with a spring which
secured the liue at any given point
Behold Kant then expounding his
philosophy to a select circle of disciples.
Liko the famous counsel who could not
state his arguments without twisting a
bit of twine, Kant worked the wind'
lasses as ho talked.
Tho idea of this grotesque fancy so
tickled De Quinoey that ho often lin
gored on the odd sight it must have
been to observo the master "paying out
the cable" or hauling in "tho slack"

Sebastian Cabot.
Sebastian Cabot retired from pubRo
affairs in 15S7, and died shortly after,
leaving a high reputation as a scieutiflo
and practical mariner, much of which
tho author of this book considers and,
it must be admitted, has cogently proved
to be undeserved. Our own verdict
would bo thut ho was guilty of much
fulschood and intrigue, that ho was not
as expert a seaman as he claimed to be
and that iu the leadership of men ho ex
hlbitod neither justice, mercy nor even
ordinary discretion. But let us temper
justico with mercy, and in judging of
the worthies of post ages bring to light
somo extenuating circumstances.
He was of the Italian race, a people
who for at least a century had borne an
unenviuble character for slyness and
underhand proceedings ; ho lived in an
ago when mercenary service was in
vogue, and strict fidelity to engagements
was not to be expected ; the languages
ox all tho Latin races are prone to vague'
nessond exaggeration, and thus often
deviated, and even unintentionally,
from veracity, and he had to deal with
Spaniards, who deemed his foreign birth
a sufficient reason for disobeying hi or
der. Perhaps his character may be just
ly oomprcheuded if we apply to him the
common phrase "too clover by half. "

They tell a story of a man of luxurious
habit who volunteered a a private sol
dier ia a cavalry regiment during the
late war. By what is popularly known
a the "irony of fate," he had to per
form his service in the roughest possi
ble place and in the roughest possible
way.
Sometime "luck" was so contrary
that the only meal he had was a few
grain of corn that he stole from the
ear provided for hi horse.
One of hi companions, who was talk
ing about this, was asked if these hard
ship and privations cured the volun
teer of hi luxurious habits. He an
swered that they did not ; that when
they were fortunate enough to find a
few plunk to lie down on at night, the
luxury lover searched among them to
see whether he oould not got one of soft
wood. Philadelphia Times.

She Considered the Lily.
At a teachers' convention in Detroit
a lady, speaking about the influence of
beautiful objects upontho character and
conduct of young pupils, told a pretty
Btory received by her frtim an eyewit
ness i
"Into a school mado up chiefly of
children from the slums the teacher one
day carried a beautiful call a lily. Of
course the children gathered about the
pure, waxy blossom in great delight
"One of them was a little girl, a waif
of the streets, who had no care bestowed
npou her, as was evinced by the dirty,
ragged condition she was always in.
Not only was her clothing dreadfully
soiled, but her face and hands seemod
totally unacquainted with soap and wa
ter. "As this little one drew near the
lovely flower, alio suddenly turned and
ran away down stairs tfTid out of the
building. In a few minutes she returned .
with her hands rthed perfectly clean,
and pushed her way 'ie flower,
where she stood and admireu '
tense satisfaction. ' - yi
'It would seem," continued Miss
Coffin, "that when tho child saw tho
lily in it white purity, she suddenly
realized that she was not fit to come -into
its atmosphere, and tho littlo thing
fled away to make herself suitable for
such companionship. Did not this havo
an elevating, refining effect on the child?
Let us gather all tho beauty we can into
the schoolroom. "Now York Tribune.

I don't wonder that tho carriages of

was the French revolution.
I am not a peasant, and I hire a cab

that my gorgo rises at the sight of some

Tho horses have their noses in tho air
because they aro "chocked np" for the

ers do tho same?
They seem to be saying very often :
"Dear me! What can thoso creatnres
be who are actually walking? Don't run
over them, James, for I m afraid it will
spoil tho looks of the turnout "
Somo peoplo affect me just tho same
way when they enter a private box.
They como in noisily, and turn around
half a dozen times ero they can find a
resting place, liko a dog before the fire,
aud then they survey the rest of tho au

proprietorship that I almost hope they
will fall out of tho box or bo dragged

Mark Toar Wheel.
John D. Carroll, chief detective of a
wheelman's insurance company, said
recontly: "Every, owner should have a
private mark upon his or her wheel.
By this I don't mean a simple mark
upon tho saddlo post or on tho saddle it
solf, as those aro tho very places where
a thief will look for such a mark, and
should they bo thero both saddle and
post will bo removed. If you want to
mako tho private mark on any port of
your frame, say on tho underside Of the
top tube, turn your wheel npside down
and remove a portion of the enamel, say
1 inch by 1 inch, and clean well till the
metal is freed from any part of the en
amel. Then cover the space so cloancd
with a greusy material candle grease,1,
for instance then take a pointed instru
ment of somo kind and wet the point
with carbolic acid. Proceed to write
yonr initials or private mark, on the
tubing, being sure that you. have suffl-

you begin. After allowing the acid ttv
leave ita trace on the tubing, you can'
rub off the grease, and one application
of enamel will cover all trace of the
mark you have mado." Philadelphia
